The main feature of this book is the attempt to study the implications of the post-World War II notion of "entitlement" to social security, within the framework of Israel's economic constraints at the macroeconomic plane. This leads to the development and the applications of quantitative measures to the twin notions - the "frontier" of the welfare state and the "frontier" of social security.
